 ### Install
 
 1. Install [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/).
-2. Install the **PHP Debug** extension by Xdebug ([Visual Studio Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=xdebug.php-debug)). Extension documentation: [vscode-php-debug](https://github.com/xdebug/vscode-php-debug).
+2. Install the **PHP Debug** extension by Xdebug (**extension id** **`xdebug.php-debug`**). It is **required** to use the Xdebug listen / launch definitions in **`launch.json`** ([Visual Studio Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=xdebug.php-debug)). Extension documentation: [vscode-php-debug](https://github.com/xdebug/vscode-php-debug).
 
 Xdebug itself still runs only in the **Lando** container; the extension connects from VS Code to that debug session.
 
 ### Configure `launch.json`
 
-Add a configuration that listens for Xdebug and maps paths. Example **Listen for Xdebug** setup (adjust **`pathMappings`** if your workspace root differs):
+You can maintain `.vscode/launch.json` entirely by hand, **or** from the project root run **`composer run sync-vscode-launch`** to copy **`dev/configs/.vscode/launch.json`** into **`.vscode/launch.json`** (creates **`.vscode`** if needed). That gives you the repo’s **basic** listen / path-mapping setup in one step. **Running the command replaces the whole file** if **`.vscode/launch.json`** already exists—back it up first if you have custom configurations.
+
+If you prefer to edit manually, use something like the following **Listen for Xdebug** example (adjust **`pathMappings`** if your workspace root differs):

 ## Cursor
 
-There is no separate Xdebug stack for Cursor. Cursor is a [VS Code–compatible editor](https://cursor.com/), so you use the **same** approach as in [Visual Studio Code](#visual-studio-code): install the **PHP Debug** extension ([Open VSX listing](https://open-vsx.org/extension/xdebug/php-debug), same extension id `xdebug.php-debug`), add the same **`launch.json`** listen configuration (port **9003**, `pathMappings` from **`/app`** to **`${workspaceFolder}`**), run **`lando xdebug-on`**, start the listener, then trigger a request from the browser.

 Install extensions from Cursor’s **Extensions** view (Cursor may pull from its own marketplace or Open VSX depending on version). If an extension is missing from search, see [Cursor documentation](https://docs.cursor.com/) (including migration / troubleshooting for VS Code parity).
